Chapter 534:

Such a shame! Dr. Wright is such a beauty. Yet, she was assaulted by a rapist! How unfortunate is that?”

“Yeah, exactly!” the other doctor agreed, his tone laced with pity.

When Lucas heard this, his face darkened with fury instantly.

He quickly closed the distance, grabbed one of the doctors by the collar, and slammed him against the wall.

“Who the hell are you? Damn it!” the doctor cursed, taken aback by Lucas’ sudden action.

With a resounding thud, his back hit the wall as Lucas’ powerful hand clamped around his throat.

“Who… Who are you? Why are you doing this?” the doctor choked out, struggling against Lucas’ iron grip.

“Mr. Clark…” the other doctor gasped, recognizing Lucas with wide-eyed shock.

At the mention of the name, the restrained doctor also froze, his eyes widening in realization.

Mr. Clark?

“What were you just talking about?” Lucas’ voice was cold and menacing, his expression unyielding.

“Mr. Clark, we… We were wrong! We promise not to speak ill of Dr. Wright again!” the doctor hastily pleaded, seeking to calm Lucas down.

He then suddenly remembered—Belinda was Lucas’ ex-wife!

“I asked you—what were you talking about just now?” Lucas demanded, enunciating each word with chilling precision.

His grip on the doctor’s throat tightened gradually.

The doctor’s face turned red from the lack of air, and he stammered in desperation, “I… I was saying…”

“This morning, Belinda’s mother came looking for her, and then…” The doctor struggled to explain everything while Lucas’ hand remained on his neck.

“So, now the whole hospital knows about Belinda’s assault. This wasn’t something we spread…” the doctor said in a low voice.

Lucas’ face darkened in an instant.

He hadn’t anticipated the news spreading through the hospital so quickly.

He believed Belinda must be feeling incredibly distressed and exposed.

The thought of it made his heart ache.

He fixed the doctor with a frigid stare.

“Belinda is highly skilled in fighting. Despite inhaling a sedative that night, she still managed to subdue her attacker. He didn’t harm her. Understood?” Lucas spat the words out, each one like a shard of ice.

“Yes, yes! I understand! Dr. Wright wasn’t harmed; she fought off her attacker!” The doctor nodded vigorously.

“If I hear any more gossip about this, the consequences will be severe,” Lucas warned, the chill in his voice turning the air around him frigid.

The doctor felt a chilling premonition, as if his very life were being threatened.
